Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We’re the proud members of the 7th Grade Basketball Team, and we need your help! We're raising funds to cover the cost of uniforms, equipment, and tournament fees. Every dollar brings us one step closer to reaching our goals—both on and off the court.

Whether it’s $5 or $50, your donation will make a big difference.

Help us grow as athletes, teammates, and young leaders in our community!

We will use it to the best of our ability and hope to improve our development thanks to your kindness. We look forward to a summer of fun and growth, it is awesome to know that people care.”

Ms. Hartman Stonecreek Junior High School Grades 6-8
